Tableau Remove extra space within sheet border - whitespace

I am creating sheet with rows of Sale Sums and Columns of each month. Firstly, I am trying to remove this extra whitespace within the boundaries while keeping the squares the same size. I would like the squares of data to take up the entirety of the region. Also, I have tried creating lines to separate each row but adding grid lines creates lines going through the squares.

go to format > borders
select none in columns
select none in rows

Table cells width - last one the longest, previous equal but as narrow as possible

I don't even know how to start with the problem. I've got the table with a few columns (generated automatically). Let's say there are 5 columns. First I would have to take the first 4 columns, calculate auto width for them, take the longest one and set that width to all 4 of them - so that the first 4 columns have equal width of the widest one but are as narrow as only content allow. The last 5th column then has to fill the rest of the table. Is that possible to achieve that without js with scss only?

Position tablix elements at the same position on different pages in SSRS

I have multiple tablixes that are rendered individually on each Excel worksheet when exported. However, I need the position of the tablixes to remain the same throughout all the different sheets, because currently, from the second sheet onwards, the tablix is not in the same position as the first one.
Please help!
What I have done in the past:
You should create the tablix objects with a fixed height and width for better use of assignment.
You should be altering it more on the 'Properties' pane than trying to use the mouse for fixed positions to be more precise. Set the 'tablix' object of my first one and select 'Size' to be 3in, 0.75in for 3 inch width and 0.75 in height.
I would set the 'Location' for the first to 0in,0in. Then using a similar method as 2 for setting a fixed size, start you next one at 0in,(height of first)in. So in my case it would be 0in,0.75in for the next one.
Set the 'PageBreak' > 'BreakLocation' to be 'End' for the first one and every other object you need to break onto a new page. You should NOT do this for the last object as you could generate a blank final page potentially.
Optional:
You can name the pages as well that appear under 'PageName' as this names the sheet in Excel as well.
Treat your report template as a Cartesian plane, with origin on top left corner with positive y-axis in the "down" direction. Ensure that your charts/graphs/tables are of the same dimension and placed at equidistant points within your plane. E.g. If you have two charts both 2 inches by 2 inches and your report template is 4 inches by 4 inches, then your first chart will be at (0,0) and your 2nd will be at (0,2). Keep this in mind and you will not falter, god-speed!

Merging header in Matrix

I want to merge the blue area of my matrix:
When selecting these 3 cells and right-clicking on them, I don't see the merge option, as described here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207131.aspx
This can't be done as you're trying to merge cells in your Column Group (qwesa) with cells outside that group (gdfr). I assume you need to use a matrix for your report, hence the column grouping.
Please see the MSDN reference on Merging Cells in a Data region, which states
Cells can only be merged within each area of a data region: corner, column headers, group definition (or row headers), and body. You cannot merge cells that cross area boundaries. For example, you cannot merge a cell in the data region corner area with a cell in the row group area.
If you do not need column groups, you should instead use a tablix where the desired merging options is available.

SSRS: Can't remove whitespace when hiding Tablixes or Rectangles

I am creating a report which contains tables at the top and bottom that are always visible. However, between these are 12 tablixes which optionally appear based on the existence of data for them. When they do not exist there is a considerable amount of whitespace in the middle section of the report which makes the report look awful.
I've tried two strategies to fix this:
Set up one rectangle to hold all tablixes. Set all tablixes to have the hidden property set to be true if CountRows() < 1. Leave no gaps in between the tablixes so as to not leave cumulative gaps.
Set up one rectangle per tablix. Set all rectangles and all tablixes to have the hidden property set to be true if CountRows(dataset for tablix) < 1. Leave no gaps in between the rectangles so as to not leave cumulative gaps.
I can think of no other setting to rid the report of gaps for hidden tables.
How about a table with separate rows that contains all your tablixes (tabli?) .
Hide the row based on the tablix's no data condition.
It doesn't help for left to right though since hiding a column leaves space.
So, I noticed that there were warnings about overlapping objects. I went back through and removed overlaps and my report did much better at reducing white space. It's not perfect, but acceptable.
Overlapping objects screw up the whitespace on reports! I don't get any warnings about overlapping objects but I tried adjusting the report to ensure no objects were overlapping and it fixes the whitespacing issues without the need for tables!

How to minimize space between Columns in amCharts Column Chart?

chart.columnSpacing property doesn't work for Simple Column chart. I need to minimize space between two Columns.
How to minimize space between Columns in Simple Column Chart?
You could try adding...
"columnWidth": [number between 0 to 1]
to make the gaps between the columns change. Adding a value of 1 will make them as wide as possible and touching each other, whereas a value of 0 will make them show as just a line going up.
See example... http://jsfiddle.net/cxypjubz/1/
